The "Weekender" is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris. This van was converted by pioneer van restoration and rental company, Peacevans, out in Seattle. The Weekender is a perfect car for a weekend getaway or any road trip for those looking to travel in a reliable and safe camper van. This rig features a pop-top (rooftop) tent with a super comfortable bed and foam mattress. The rear bench slides back and forth as needed for space and even converts to a full sized bed with extra storage space underneath. Driver and front passenger seats swivel around to face the rear which gives the car a lounge feel. The car comes with an awning to roll out for when you need shade. Another valuable addition to this van is the built-in auxiliary battery. It powers multiple USB ports around the car, the refrigerator, additional LED lighting and last but not least it helps power the Webasto heating unit. The heater can run while the van ignition is completely shut off. This feature is a game changer for those looking to camp during cold nights in cold locations. In the rear of the car, near the hitch (which tows up to 5,000 pounds), you will find shore power and solar panel hookups. The van also has a portable refrigerator and 2 burner propane stove inside. There is even a real fireproof safe in between the two front seats to keep your valuables such as laptops or cell phones safe while you’re away from the van.This camper is super easy to drive! It feels just like a minivan so anyone can drive it. It is equipped with some cool tech like "active steering assist, active brake assist and distronic". This means the car has the ability to maintain cruise control at any speed and speed up/slow down and stop as needed. This super cool feature allows you to enjoy the journey that much more!

Hi Outdoorsy family! My name is Harry and I'm a lover of nature and being outdoors. My family and I love camping and being amongst nature. One of my favorite trips I've been on was camping in Shasta Trinity area in northern California. I hope you enjoy my camper van as much as I do!
